Abstract: An agricultural machine includes a traveling vehicle body, a coupler to couple a working implement with the traveling vehicle body, and a takeoff/landing station to restrict a skid of an unmanned aerial vehicle when the unmanned aerial vehicle takes off or lands. The agricultural machine includes a protector to protect an operator's seat. The takeoff/landing station is provided on the protector. The takeoff/landing station is attached to the protector and includes an arm extending in a horizontal direction when the unmanned aerial vehicle takes off or lands.

Abstract: An agricultural machine includes a vehicle body, an obstacle detector to detect obstacles, an autonomous travel controller to perform autonomous travel of the vehicle body, the autonomous travel controller being configured or programmed to, when performing the autonomous travel, stop the vehicle body based on detection information about an obstacle detected by the obstacle detector, and a mode switch to switch a mode during the autonomous travel in an agricultural field between an effective mode in which the stopping of the vehicle body based on the detection information is allowed and an ineffective mode in which the stopping of the vehicle body based on the detection information is not allowed.
